About this Event
"Those Who Eyes Will Hear" is a conceptual performance that combines cinematic symphonic music with a touch of hip-hop, opera, gospel and soul merged with film.
The composer/creator Eriq Troi, an Akron, Ohio native, wanted to tell stories based on everyday experiences of African-Americans. It is an invitation to the African diaspora and the world to see Black America outside of the monolithic images and ideas of popular culture and to reimagine opera/symphony as a multicultural musical experience by intertwining various genres of music and merging it with film inspired by the compositions.
This "proof of concept", described by film maker Darrell Sampson, is also a massive collaboration with various art-disciplines to highlight and mobilize the local community of artists/creators in one collective living art exhibition.
Thanks to The Akron Black Artist Guild and Arts Now this vision is now an experience we hope you will enjoy. For more information about the composer click --> Connect with Eriq Troi!
